Change Node-Name when agent is running via docker

As an alternative to the Docker hostname thing mentioned by Zack, you can manually override the hostname that Netdata reports in the netdata.conf file by adding a hostname key under the [global] section. This obviously doesn’t scale well if you have a lot of nodes, but if you’ve only got one or two it can be a much easier solution than trying to get Docker to give all the containers sane hostnames.
